Disregard the music! Which would win in a fight? I know, a stupid poll; I'm just having some fun! -------------

Just flip Tarkus over and you'll find its weak side. The GG knows this strategy.

They will battle until King Crimson orders otherwise.

the Elektrolurch (German for "Electric Amphibian"; the most famous song of Guru Guru) would win easily

| Josh has it right.. the Armadillo is an impressive creature, has the range with that cannon and good armor, but once the Giant gets in close it's buh-bye to old Tarky.. |

But Tarkus has the armadillo-shell to protect it from long-range attacks, and it's a freakin' tank! Of course it would easily take out the gentle giant. And if anyone hadn't noticed: it's the Gentle Giant. -------------

Tarkus is the armadillo man slayer, and your putting it up against a really tall guy who wouldnt hurt a fly? This poll is rigged. -------------

cannons shmannons-- the Giant is a grappler, an infighter, he just has to get past a couple shots from an old metal gun before he has hold of that pesky marsupial and puts a hurtin' on him the likes of which you can nary fathom |

Vern, Tarkus is a cartoon. The Gentle Giant is a REAL GUY!!!!  ------------- Bible-thumping heavyweight evangelistic boxing kangaroo |

 That's a lie! Tarkus is real!
Old? and why is that, because Tarkus is from '71? Oh wait! If I remember correctly, Gentle Giant is from '70! So your giant is even "older," and most likely doesn't have much agility left in him by now!  (It's a battle of the seniors, with PA as their retirement home where the most excitement comes from which genre the retirees get put into! )-------------

BTW, Admin. ; this deeply important discussion should probably be in General Polls  |

| The Gentle Giant will song Knots all by himself and Tarkus will collapse |

Or maybe Tarkus will launch some bombast and make the Giant Explode

The mighty GG is much bigger and will crush the lil Tarky with his thumb.  -------------

Gotta go with Tarkus... I mean, it might be a giant but he is gentle after all!

Quite difficult.... GG is enormous but dumb. Tarkus is a normal size machine.. It could activate his machine guns and split GG in many slices.
But like others said they gotta watch out with the King, Crimson is quite powerful cause being the King! But there perhaps the Queen would go against the King. Haha. Tarkus? YES! haha |

As a result of my revisit to Judas Priest, I am listening to Defenders of the Faith. I'm not sure if the tank-like creature on the cover has a name. If that is the Sentinel or the Metallian, maybe, but I think that it could definitely give Tarkus quite the battle. I think that it is the Metallian (as in Metal Lion).  -------------

If smiles could kill, I'm sure the Gentle Giant would win.
But will he be able to win from the Manticore?
 Just think about that! |
